[edit] Milan Appearances
In the "Club" section it states Gattuso made his 300th appearance for A.C Milan against Lille in 2006 but on the club information section below personal information it states his appearances for the club is at 277. I do not know how many appearances he has actually made but thought the point needed bringing up for someone to sort :)
- The infobox stats refer to league appearances only. The 23-game discrepancy likely includes cup games, though I can't confirm this at present. - Dudesleeper · Talk 10:28, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Taunting incident?
Gattuso's taunting of Poulsen was a trivial incident. Its mention looks out of place in an article that gives a broad overview of Gattuso's career.
- I think, if put into the context of his aggressive style of play, the incident demonstrates his massive will to win and aggressive persona on the pitch. Poulsen 11:49, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
I think it looks out of place, too. Especially if you keep in mind that Poulsen was the one to seriously trouble Kakà in the first leg, thus Gattuso's behaving was more of a reaction. To me, it looks like there are better and less subjective sounding (sorry) arguments to show his will to win and the actions he will take...
I think its fine but we should include how it was Poulsen egging him on so that you can tell that he is very caring and has a big heart for teammates, and looks out for them....obviously in better words -Rapini
Point is, the "Poulsen-incident" can hardly be seen as one-sided as it is presented here. If you think this exact information that necessary to be included in this article, there should be mention of Poulsen's mean taunting of Kaka in the first leg just as well. Kaka couldn't do anything because of Poulsen. Gattuso had to look out for Poulsen so Kaká wouldn't be 'disabled' again. It's perfectly alright to write of the Poulsen-incident, but I think picking out only Gattuso's wrongdoings but not writing about Poulsen's in this very context is a kind of POV.

Why was my revision undone? I tried to explain the context for once. It is interesting that the "Poulsen-affair" is considered more important an information about a player who is more and more considered to be one of Europe's best midfielders (cf. e.g. quote by Benitez: "in players like Gattuso and Kaka they have two of the best players in the world"). I do not mean to be POV, and I do not think this additional information was, but I tried to explain sth. from more than only one angle (and this one angle was out of context)! --The Growl 12:09, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- You're not helping yourself with the "mean taunting of Kaka" above. - Dudesleeper · Talk 12:42, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, but because I like how Gattuso plays, I am not allowed to write about sth. I consider POV? I really don't see where I - except in the talk, trying to explain what I mean by "out of context" - wrote POV, when I added the info to the article. It is true, to me, Poulsen taunting Kaka was "mean". But that (my POV) was not what I added to the article. --The Growl 12:49, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- You wrote in the article: It can be seen as a reaction to Poulsen's taunting of Kakà in the first leg. This is clearly putting words in other people's mouths. You're not inside Gattuso's head, so you can't know the reasons behind his actions. - Dudesleeper · Talk 13:03, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Alright, I get what you mean, thanks. Still, I'd like to explain myself: rest assured that I didn't mean to pretend I knew Gattuso's thoughts. To me, it was plain and simple football tactics. (A reaction to Poulsen, just as Poulsen was cleverly placed as a 'reaction' to Kaka) [Just a thought: In the German wikipedia-section, they had the same argument (if the Poulsen-incident was or was not worth mentioning. I just noticed they finally cut the whole section out. I'd still vote for that.] --The Growl 15:01, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pizzeria?
Is this fact completely accurate? Is there a source for this, it seems a bit fishy.
- it's true...
Yeah, I guess it is. I read about it in an interview with a German football magazine, a quite alright, matter of fact one, so I'd say the information is true. --The Growl 11:04, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
